It's nice to hear positivity from you regarding your goal despite some negative comments and doubters.
I enjoy following your journey. Keep up the great work!
Solid game. I like how you are so calm. Best of luck breaking 2000.
I just started the video, after white played Ba4, you start consuming a lot of time like more than half a minute considering b5, Nf6, Bf5. It's a position where you are facing no threats and you know you want to develop your pieces. So don't overthink such positions. You will need that time later, when things get more complicated.
Same when white played Rfd3 and you said that you have to say goodbye to your d4 pawn. Your estimation was correct. So you could just improve your king or let your king side pawns move where you had 3 vs 1 pawns. If white exchances rooks by taking on d4, perfect. Pawn endgames with one extra pawn are often enough to win. So there was absolutely no need to calculate lines like the capture sequence on d4 or Re8. And after the exchange on d4 you start calculate again. Your plan should be improving your king, block the white pass pawn with your rook and move your king side pawns to get a pass pawn yourself. This position requires no exact calculation, rather some knowledge about endgame strategy.
Since time is a big factor in your games and you lose a lot of good positions because of time pressure, you need to learn to recognise, if a position requires calculation and concrete moves or if you can go with general rules.
“Buckle up for the next few years” lol
Good luck Patrick!!
The blue hat is on fiiiiiiiiiire!!!
You see the importance of activating your king and bringing it up to the middle in an endgame? This is the first time I see you do this and follow this advice which in fact, some subscribers did not agree on in past endgames. Doesn't surprise me you won this endgame thanks to that.
All the best on the journey to 2000. It's a journey, not so important if one day falls the 2xxx. We enjoy the videos, with all success, sometimes blunders and great sportsmanship. Thanks for joining this experience.
"too quick to pin" doesn't sound like an actual problem lol
Good game, Patrick.
I learn a lot from your good moves and also from your bad ones :)
Go ahead, man!
Dude heck yeah!! Great job!!
Thank you Patrick for your videos. My rating is much lower than yours, but it gives me confidence to progress when I follow you, knowing that at any level one can win or make mistakes, my main problem being the stress generated by the lack of time amont other things...Thank you for these motivating and relaxing moments.
Well done for the part of the end game when you pushed your queenside pawns. Your opponent played the engame badly and gave you chances. With two rooks on the board you gave your opponent the chance to have a passed pawn with two rooks benind it. This would have been a big headache, but your opponent took with the rook instead of the pawn. When you have more pawns than your opponent and the queens are off the board you should focus on protecting all the pawns swap the remaining pieces off and get the king up the board. You did some of these things but not all of them. Good win.
You can do it. Keep up the puzzles and one day we'll both be 2000
Very decent game today. A pin is usually a good thing. However, moving the same piece twice in the opening is considered to be a loss of tempi and therefore quite uneffective and potentially dangerous. I personally thought it seemed like a waste of time to put the bishop on f5 and one move later moving it again to g4. There are exceptions to the the rule though, where you are trying to provoke a certain move by your opponent. I dont know these lines in the Caro myself, so i dont know if this is a normal manoeuvre in all these different caro lines, trying to provoke the knight out to get the pin. You could try to check it out with the engine. In this case you would had the engines approval 😊
Connecting your rooks on half open files is almost always the right way to go. You put your rook on d8 instead of c8. Now it is unprotected and is vulnerable to pins. The way you played it you are going to have to keep checking every move that you won't lose your rook on c4 to that pin. Also in the endgame you tend to push pawns and then lose them as a result. You did that twice here but your opponent did not take advantage.
I believe in you Patrick, YOU WILL REACH 2000. You should not listen to the people that don't believe in you :)
I believe in you bro, just think its gonna take 7 years
Nice job!
Well played. A regulation win. You just accumulated small advantages during the game and then traded off to a winning end game.
However, the position at 18:12 interesting. You were a pawn up but after a few trades, in this position material is level. You play gxf3. At the the time I thought this was very wrong. After gxf3, Kxf3 material is level. Here I would play f3 instead of gxf3. The point is after g3 you have two passed pawns on the g and h file and they cannot be stopped.
I put this position into stockfish. It evaluates the position after your gxf3 as being level. However, after g3 stockfish has black +3. It just shows that there is subtlety even in these seemingly simple endgame positions and with one wrong pawn move you can throw it away.
Aw, where's the end game analysis? 😢
I might be one of those people. My own journey to 2000 took around 4 years of playing in tournaments though mostly class tournaments so I was underrated, and some masters found that out to their chagrin. Will you make it? Possibly. I should live that long. I personally think you should get a coach, that would help, but then you want to do it all on you own.
Back to your game. Well played straight forward and no tactics, positions you do well in. Yes, grab the open file, but have a plan.
Triple on the c-file for one. Don't forget to luft. Well, he forced you to luft, make space for the king. He takes with the pawn as it now is passed King to the center, stop the pawn, correct. You deflected his king, Well played: "Terror of the Under 1500's."
Better to fall short of 2k at 1800 than hit 1700 and be satisfied having achieved your goal.
Patrick! Love your thought process and how you think your way through the middle part of chess. But being your end game is your worst part of the three, beginning, middle and end, you need to leave yourself more time for the end game. I think you can and will make it to 2000 ELO I just feel you’d do yourself a big favor by speeding up your middle part of the game as much as you can.
You play better than some of the ~ 2000 rated people i meet. You'll get there soon
Soon??
@@MrDanielfff777 well soon is relative lol
Patrick actually already is at the 2000-2100 level but it takes a while for the rating to adjust to his actual playing strenght because of how limited Patrick is in being able to and find the time to play a game daily
@@altrfryd5859 more likely 3000-3100
@pesfreak7310 Patrick is the same rating he was this time last year, there is no way you can hit 2000 elo playing 1 chess game a day
you should pin because the knight cant intercepted by another piece that's the rule
Gg
why stop the analysis short? you actually did not play the end game well because you gave up a pawn advantage allowing white to equalise.
Probably an editing mistake
Chess Coach. And you will see 2000 at some point in Life.
There are times when a pin is better and there are times when a pin doesn’t help you in that position you need to understand the position to understand whether you need to pin or not. Pinning is not a blanket move. Chess is strategy.
Wow new hat!
W guy
You can for sure do it. Speaking as a 2200 player myself you think logically, i think your largest issue is focusing way too much on opening theory and developing moves. Just get a position and use your time evaluating more concrete ideas.
Funny how you always say thank you for the game only when you win.
i have seen him say it when he’s lost aswell.
He says "good game" when he loses. He used to say "good game" all the time, but some people commented that it might come across as rude when he wins.
Just commenting to be in the montage
C'mon lad!
That was not a good end game😁
Chess coach and you will see 2000 at some point in life
You can't do it
He appreciates the true intent of your comment
